Calcium phosphate cements comprising amorophous calcium phosphate

ABSTRACT

Calcium phosphate cements are provided. The subject cements comprise amorphous calcium phosphate, at least one additional calcium source, usually an additional calcium phosphate, and a liquid component, such as a physiologically acceptable lubricant. Upon combination of the cement components, a flowable composition capable of setting in vivo into a solid calcium phosphate mineral product, such as hydroxyapatite, is produced. The subject cement compositions find use in a variety of applications, including the treatment of injured or compromised hard tissue.
